It's from Tales of War Ron 'n' Bones series. I picked up 3 at last year's Salute. They are the most frustrating castings to clean up and put together however turn out nicely in the end. Got a great hulking bloke carrying a dynamited pig under each arm on the paint bench........plus another carrying a ships cannon........great fun.

Captain Hook looks great. That's a really nice figrue.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

It was just a dark basecoat followed by a lighter coat then a darker basecoat used to give the liquid left in the bottle, trying to make it even with the horizontal of the base. After that it was just left glossed....I think the light reflection make it look better than it is  :)

Simple yet effective.

It certainly looks great!

Little touches like leaving the glass glossy is what makes a good model awesome.

Why did I hear Martha Steward in my head when I re-read that....
